Justin Dancing Hawk - 2011-09-12 I just got a lovely and HUGE Green Bubble tipped anemone with reddish tips on its tentacles. It's gorgeous and is hosting a small Maroon Clownfish that's absolutely adorable! I've been calling him "Little Red" and come to think of it, that sort of Honors Mr. Red Skelton and that is surely something I am highly pleased to do! He filled my childhood with many hours of delight while my family faithfully watched his show every week without fail! I've been naming my Clownfish after famous clowns. My Tomato Clownfish is named "Emmitt" ( I wasn't sure of the spelling ! LOL! ) after the wonderful Emmitt Kelly. My new Anemone is at least 5 inches. I couldn't tell at first just how big it was because it is in a fake rock that I'm currently trying hard to evict it from so I can return it to the store, since it is a very undesired feature! You can imagine my delight when I discovered I'd just gotten a smoking deal ( $20 bucks !! ) on this huge anemone!! GOD I love Petco!! LOL!

Thomas Herrick - 2012-10-17 I wouldn't trust Petco with purchases on live creatures. Since they don't receive DIRECT shipments, the percentage of receiving a creature with certain ailments (I bought a beautiful Coral Beauty Angelfish, only to see the small white dots, that were invariably Marine Ick, on it,) SKYROCKETS. By the time I treated the water, and did hyposalinity treatments, half of my fish were wiped out. As far as anemones go, I haven't had particular issues with any (Condylactis, Green Bubble Tip, Rosebud, and Sebae anemones.) HOWEVER, keep in mind that parasites can often latch on to anemones (even though they provide no nutrition,) until they find themselves being put into your tank. Remain cautious, and try your best to refrain from purchasing live aquaria from CHAIN stores. Other than that, hope your system is doing well.
Fishnerd2000 - 2014-03-18 I have two tomato clowns, a bubble tip, and an African red starfish. The clowns had ick and then the ick disappeared and I got them from Petco. I trust them a lot.
Fishnerd2000 - 2014-03-22 Though I trust my Pedro in r Eau Claire WI I wouldn't trust shipping though. I would just go to the store make it easy.
Phil - 2015-10-24 Getting livestock from Petco is hit or miss. The Clownfish I got from there had "Clownfish Disease" and lost them. The Banggai's were fine. It depends on the particular store and how dedicated the staff is to caring for the livestock. The local Petco near my place doesn't have a knowledgeable fish person and there saltwater tanks look awful! Find a LFS that loves what they do, even though you'll pay a little more, you wind up with healthy specimens. I have a beautiful blue-green bubble-tip that I got from Fishy Bizness here in Tucson for $35 and "Nemo", (go figure), and Hina love! It's too cool to see them sleeping in it when I get up in the morning.
Sierah - 2015-10-25 If only i could have a salt water tank! Wouldnt even know where to start!
Fishnerd2000 - 2014-03-18 I'm wondering if I can get a snowflake eel with my two tomato clowns, bubble tip, and African red starfish? Will it irritate them if I get the snowflake?

Clarice Brough - 2014-03-20 The eel won't eat the anemones, but it will eat the starfish. Initially compatiblity will not be a problem with the fish as they occupy different areas, with the clowns in the anemone and the eel hiding in the rockwork. Over time however, the eel can grow up to about 40' and protein is its diet, so eventually the clownfish may become a snack if they are small enough to fit in the eels mouth.
Fishnerd2000 - 2014-03-21 I don't think so, the eel is not bothering anything and it only gets to 24 inches. Also the clowns are too big, I think it's going to be fine.
Fishnerd2000 - 2014-03-24 Also snowflake eels don't typically get more than 12 inches in a 55 gal and it's very rare for it to happen but thanks for the info anyways.
Fishnerd2000 - 2014-03-22 Ok I have 55 gal tank with an African star, a snowflake eel, and two tomato clowns. Sadly my anemone died for some reason but I'm wondering if I could get a Niger trigger fish? If not what fish can go with them? I've heard tomato clowns are not nice to other fish but they didn't do CRAP when I had Daniels..... PLEASE HELP ME HERE.

Anonymous - 2020-11-28 clowns are aggressive so with the triggerfish its worse P.S but triggerfish and eels do pretty fine but they may chase each other
rob krausse - 2014-01-26 I think I killed mine!!! Got mine the other day. Took awhile to open and close; feed it yesterday but today it is inside out. Looks like it is shedding with a lot of mucous; anybody ever have this happen?

Clarice Brough - 2014-01-26 Yes, I have had them turn inside out. It's usually either because it was very stressed when you got it, or the tank conditions were not to it's liking. Check with your supplier, they may get you a replacement.

MaryM - 2013-05-17 I bought a bubble tip anenome yesterday and woke this morning to a disaster. The anenome had committed suicide. Sometime in the night it crawled into my wave fan and got shredded. Will it come back or is it dead? And when I tried to remove it from my fan, I made it worse. And now my hand feels weird. What can I do, if anything?

Jeremy Roche - 2013-05-17 That little creature that Nemo has such trouble pronouncing correctly looks like a flower buried on the bottom of the ocean floor. They can be beautiful to look at; less beautiful to come into contact with. Those mesmerizing tentacles that wave back and forth are actually adorned with very unpleasant stinging cells that when you step on them with your foot or brush against them with a bare arm while diving can be just as painful as having a jellyfish slip up your swimsuit and sting your frank and beans. The treatment for a sting provided by a sea anemone is the same as a jellyfish. Avoiding the temptation to rub the affected area, stay away from fresh water, and make that paste or use alcohol.
The Bubble-Tip Anemone is a favorite of aquarists and highly favored by clownfish, hosting 13 different species in the wild!
